Countless people came to look for them at once, all waiting for definite news. But no one was disappointed, just when everyone was waiting anxiously, definite news came out.
There is indeed such a thing. Your Majesty named it Ruyi Bean. It can indeed produce 2,000 kilograms per mu, and it has many benefits when eaten. At the same time, this banquet is indeed because Your Majesty wants everyone to eat these things.
Of course, there is more specific information, such as it is soft and sticky, suitable for older people to eat; it is rich in nutritional value, nourishes yin and kidney, strengthens yang and replenishes qi; it is a rare authentic product, an absolute good thing, and can be used to make a variety of things.
Under such circumstances, everyone was excited. Regardless of whether Ruyi Beans really had such an effect, the yield was very good.
As for suspicion, no one doubted it, because the news came from Han Yu, the chief minister of the cabinet. It was said that Han Yu personally asked Xu Guangqi, the second minister of the cabinet, and thus obtained accurate information.
For a moment, the capital was shaken.
Those who were qualified and had the experience to enter the palace had been running to the palace day and night these days, trying to gather information while hoping to get some benefits first, preferably to have His Majesty reward them with a few thousand pounds. In the end, all of these people were disappointed.
The disappearance was confirmed, it was real. Because Zhang Guoji had sent a message that it was true. Empress Zhang did give her father some potatoes, but there were only ten pounds, not enough to give as a gift, but enough for the people in the Zhang family to eat.
According to the news from people in Zhang's house, the Ruyi beans are delicious and have a very fragrant taste.
For a while, everyone in the capital was talking about this thing called Ruyi Bean, but no further news came.
Under such circumstances, the imperial palace banquet became a highly anticipated event.
After several days of grand celebration, the imperial banquet was finally held as scheduled in the Fengtian Hall on the Double Ninth Festival.
Civil and military officials entered the court in turn, performed rituals and music according to etiquette, and took their seats in rank.
After everyone was seated, Zhu Youxiao walked out slowly from the back accompanied by the "Flame Spirit Song" by the Jiaofangsi.
Many officials felt isolated when they saw Zhu Youxiao.
I haven't seen Your Majesty for a long time, but it seems that Your Majesty seems to be stronger and taller.
Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon throne, waiting to be worshipped by everyone.
After completing his worship, he gently raised his hand and said, "My dear ministers, please excuse me."
After everyone stood up, Zhu Youxiao continued, "My dear ministers, please take your seats."
After everyone was seated, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "This is a treasure sent from heaven. I have named it Ruyi Bean. It happens to be the Double Ninth Festival and the Queen's birthday, so I will hold a grand banquet to share the Ruyi Bean with all of you, my dear ministers."
Zhu Youxiao tried hard not to behave strangely. The reason was simple: using such words to describe potatoes was really strange to him.
I guess in a few years, potatoes will be everywhere, and when we think about today's scene, it will be hard not to laugh.
However, there is no other better way to promote potatoes as quickly as possible and increase their value.
Besides, after selling this large batch of potatoes, he could make some money. In the face of such benefits, nothing else mattered.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at everyone and said, "The banquet begins."
Following Zhu Youxiao's words, action began outside.
Of course, we won't be eating all potatoes today; we'll just serve the normal dishes. As the saying goes, scarcity makes things valuable, so let them eat a few potatoes today, try them, and then they'll think about it when they get home, and if they think about it, they'll buy more. They'll buy it to use as seeds or eat it straight away.
This is all money, Zhu Youxiao thought to himself.
The dishes on the table were two plates of wine, two plates of cakes, one plate of snacks, four kinds of vegetables, one bowl of soup, and three cups of wine.
A medium-sized table is set with two plates of wine, one plate of snacks, two plates of cakes, four kinds of dishes, two bowls of soup, and six cups of wine.
There are red beans, persimmons, oranges, crabs and bream.
When all the dishes were almost served, Zhu Youxiao raised his cup several times, and the potatoes that everyone had been waiting for finally came.
The first dish is the braised lamb with Ruyi beans.
This is a dish carefully prepared by the imperial chef and served in transparent snow-white porcelain bowls.
The eunuchs carefully picked up the porcelain bowls and placed a bowl of stewed lamb with potatoes on the table in front of each minister.
The bowl was not very big, with only four or five pieces of mutton, four or five pieces of potatoes, and a little soup, nothing else.
After all the bowls were placed, Zhu Youxiao said, "Ruyi beans and mutton. My dear ministers, please try it."
As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of potato and put it in his mouth.
The ministers did not dare to delay, and they had been looking forward to it for a long time, so they picked up their chopsticks, picked up a piece of potato and put it in their mouths.
Although the name of this dish sounds rustic, it is unexpectedly delicious.
The mutton juice is all over the Ruyi bean cubes, which are soft, glutinous and sweet. How can they be so delicious?
Some elderly ministers still had some soup at the corners of their mouths, and their eyes lit up as they looked at the bowl.
It’s really good stuff. You can eat it even if you don’t have teeth.
Good stuff, good stuff!
At the same time, they quickened their eating speed, and the stewed mutton became their enjoyment.
A small bowl was quickly eaten up, and everyone felt a little unsatisfied and wanted to ask someone to order another bowl.
But this is His Majesty's banquet, not a place where you can order dishes.
